TomTom App updated!

[Ward]

I checked this evening and the UK & Ireland version has been updated. Downloading v1.1 now.

I can't see what's new from AppStore - TomTom have not supplied any information with the update. :dft006:unhappy

Thought I'd just work with this thread instead of creating a new one.

TomTom 1.2 is out now - it now includes text-to-speech, advanced lane guidance, and a couple of other minor goodies. Downloading it now...

Will you update us on how it is - ive found Navigon much more accurate than TomTom, hopefully this update will fix that?

Will do. I also think Navigon is the king of the hill so far, but I'm hoping (though I don't quite know why) that TomTom will catch up at some point.

There is an option in the Advanced section of the preferences which claims to improve the GPS lag issue. It's disabled by default.

Its not so much the lag, but when your on a road that crosses another it seems to get really confused.

All the reviews I read (prior to this update) seemed to favor Navigon. I don't see paying for another premium gps navigation app now that I already purchased Navigon. Hopefully whatever this added that Navigon does not already have will be added by Navigon.
